Most anoying thing on the planet but i love it

2K25... What can I say that people don't already know about it. I mean it is just a disappointment. I get off of work everyday at 6PM. As a plumber by the way. Then I get to come home and have my wife yell at me to change my kid's diapers. Finally I call my two old friends from high school and tell them, "You know what guys let's try 2K25" Because I remember as kids we enjoyed the 2k3 and 4 versions. Anyway I put down 60 dollars to buy the game and my friends do too. After getting our builds together and thinking we are ready we head to PARK mode. We make our way to the pads to start our first park match and size up our opponents. Then, my friend, Terrance points out the other guys are all 90 Overall + and we are just 60s. But, no problem, that shouldn't make too much of an issue... right? Well we get into the game and the other team gets the ball immediately. They pass the guy my other friend, Bobby is guarding and the guy is about 7 Foot 2 but he easily out-maneuvers Bobby's point guard he built, breaking his ankles. Then knowing the fundamentals I am in help and try to contest the big-man. Of course as a 6'7 forward this was a bad choice and being a 60 overall my character can get a grand total of 2 inches off the ground meanwhile the 7'2 GIANT flies in like Michael Jordan and annihilates my character. The rest of the game went like this. And the next ones after that. So, we decide to try to upgrade our characters because it shouldn't be that hard. We quickly figure out that VC upgrades characters and set our goals to getting it, we also noticed you can buy it with real life money. But, why would we need that? We already spent 60$ dollars on the game right? Then for about a week my friends and I get off work grind VC, repeat. Finally at the end of our grinding we discover we are all around 85 overall. So we make our way to the park believing that our skill can make up for the little overall we are missing. But we quickly realize we don't really like our characters anymore after trying them out. But we continue playing, We grinded for a reason. We get into a couple of matches where we quickly realize everybody makes their shot. EVERYTIME. Green everytime. I mean come on 2K when we played it was not like that. And with that we left the game. So if I could give this game a star review it would be 1 and if I could give 0-5 it'd be 0. The end. Never again. I download 2K just to get away the bunch of crap I have to deal with in real life and I have to deal a mountain of ♥♥♥♥ in the game... Just great.

Boil water first.
• Gently lower in fridge-cold eggs.
  
  
• Lower the heat slightly – so the eggs don’t crack due to being bashed around but water is still at a gentle boil.
  
  
• Start the timer – 6 minutes for runny yolks, 8 minutes for soft boiled, 10 minutes for classic hard boiled, 15 minutes for unpleasant rubbery whites and powdery dry yolks.
  
  
• Transfer into a large bowl or sink of cold water.
  
  
• Peel under water starting from the base (it’s easier).

And that’s all you need to know, the game itself is pretty good it needs offline and singleplayer achievements

crashing

Its a good game but I'm running this with a Pc that has good specs like a 3060 and even on low settings it is so incredibly laggy. It freezes every other second and is basically unplayable online as I cant even walk about without it taking forever.

absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gameplay

it should be illegal to release something so bad.
